I mean, of course they are! He's doing everything he can to find money for even bigger tax breaks for them on top of the $4tn tax cuts that will expire in December.

Apparently it'll cost 2.5x as much this go around.

This is the reason for all the crazy bullshit he's doing. He has no plan beyond "turn it all off" and he's scrambling to find money for more tax cuts. He's made a promise.

On the flip side, Sundar Pichai sees where this is all headed and probably doesn't want to be deported, or worse.

He has no plan beyond "turn it all off"

If only that were the case. These are still on the agenda:

The rest of Project 2025
"Freedom cities", on-chain city-states
Segregate people into (rich) "citizens", and "the rest"
"Humane genocide"
Nukes in orbit, win a nuclear war
President-king for life

The "turn it all off" is a means to an end.

I don't have much confidence he'll get that far, but you're right.

Can you offer more details about the things you mentioned?
